Daily Comics: Mystery Begins from Everyday Life

"You are really easily satisfied..." Sakurajima Mai sat down next to him, poured a box of juice into a glass and pushed it in front of Luotian.

"Yeah, thank you!" Luotian took the juice and drank a few sips. After finishing the sandwich, he picked up the fork and ate the pasta covered with meat sauce.

Next to him, Sakurajima Mai, who was watching Luotian eating breakfast, raised the corner of her mouth slightly, then picked up the script beside her and opened it.

"Luotian, are you really planning to shoot this script yourself?" Sakurajima Mai reminded: "This is not a simple process, and it will require a lot of money, as well as a lot of manpower and material resources."

"Of course I am sure." Luo Tian nodded confidently, and then said: "Don't worry about the funds, but for other roles, I will need classmate Mai's help to find some."

"Other actors..." Sakurajima Mai flipped through the notebook, looking at the detailed descriptions of the characters from personality to clothing to facial features, and said with some embarrassment: "Although I know a lot of actors and artists, it may not be so easy to find them completely according to the information above..."

"Of course this doesn't mean there aren't any suitable ones. I'll list all the artists I know and carefully screen them."

"Don't worry, take your time." Luo Tian smiled at Sakurajima Mai. Finding a suitable one among the artists that Sakurajima Mai knew was not the only way.

"Does Luotian have any other ideas?" asked Sakurajima Mai.

"I have some ideas." Luo Tian wiped his mouth and then said, "Although inviting some artists who have already debuted to participate will increase the ratings and bring more fans, this does not mean that those artists who have not yet debuted and need opportunities are not eligible."

"So does Luotian mean to give the main audition opportunities to undebuted artists?" Sakurajima Mai asked curiously.

"Yeah." Luo Tian nodded and said, "Although there are certain acting problems for actors and artists who have not debuted, there are also excellent people like Yihua who lack opportunities. However, it will probably be troublesome during the audition."

"Indeed." Sakurajima Mai understood Luo Tian's words and agreed, "If the auditions are mainly limited to undebuted artists, it will indeed be a huge and time-consuming task, and it is very likely to delay the filming progress."

"These are not important. While the new actors are auditioning, Mai can take a break." Luotian said.

"That's fine." Sakurajima Mai nodded slightly and said, "The movie I'm shooting is entering its final phase, and there's only one commercial left. We'll be done by next weekend."

"Thank you for your hard work, classmate Mai!" Luotian asked sincerely.

"It's not that hard, it's within the normal range...ha~" As she spoke, Mai Sakurajima yawned.

"Is this what you call a normal range? Look, you don't get enough sleep!" Luo Tian said seriously, "Slow down! There's no rush!"

"It's all because of last night..." Sakurajima Mai glared at Luotian and muttered, "It's so late and you still don't let me sleep. My hands are still a little sore now..."

Hearing this, Luo Tian, ​​who had a serious face, felt embarrassed and asked tentatively: "Ma Yi, how about I give you a massage?"

"No need." Sakurajima Mai waved her hand and said, "Who knows if you will take this opportunity to do something."

"How is that possible! I am a gentleman! I will never force Mai-san to do anything!" Luo Tian praised himself seriously, then moved to Sakurajima Mai-san, holding her arm and massaging it gently, "Mai-san, how do you think this strength is?"

"Hmph! Not bad." Facing Luo Tian's constant attentiveness, Sakurajima Mai was not polite and immediately asked, "By the way, do you want to show this script to my mother?"

"Yes, I plan to go find Aunt Mariko after taking COS photos of Hai Meng this afternoon..."

"That's good too. Mom knows a lot of artists and might be able to pick out a lot of suitable candidates."

"That's true, but whether you will agree to it is another matter."

"Don't worry, I'll also help find the right person..."

Just like that, Sakurajima Mai chatted about the script while enjoying her massage.

Half an hour later, the phone suddenly rang...

"Hello, Ms. Ryoko."

Sakurajima Mai answered the phone, responded a few times and then hung up.

"Are we going to start working?" Luotian asked.

"Yeah." Sakurajima Mai nodded and said, "It's time. Although there are not many shoots today, we still have to go to the set on time."

"Thank you for your hard work, Mai!" Luotian leaned over and kissed Sakurajima Mai on the cheek.

"It's nothing... After all, I also want to finish these tasks early..." Sakurajima Mai covered her cheeks shyly, her tone was unspeakably gentle.

"Let's go, I'll take you to meet Miss Liangzi." Luotian stood up and tidied up the things on the table.

"Okay." Sakurajima Mai nodded slightly, then walked out of the hotel with Luotian and sent him to the black business nanny car driven by Miss Ryoko.

Watching the black business car disappear from sight, Luotian turned and left, then found a corner where no one was paying attention, opened the shadow passage and left.

After returning home, Luotian learned from Kayana that Yusa Emi called to ask for another day off.

"Why didn't she contact me?" Luo Tian muttered in confusion.

"Yusa said no one answered your phone, so he called the store." Kaya replied.

"No one answered?" Luo Tianxia subconsciously touched his pocket, but found it was empty. "Huh? Where's my phone? Lost it?"

"You left it in the bathroom." Gaya took out his cell phone from his pocket. "Shizumi found it in the basket when he was washing clothes this morning."

"Come to think of it...I put it in the clothes basket when I took a shower yesterday and forgot to take it out, hahaha..." Luotian said with a smile.

"See..." Gaya shook his head like an adult and said, "(King Zhao's) Yusa thought you didn't want to answer her call. Although I explained it, you'd better contact her."

"Okay, I got it." Luo Tian was stunned after taking the phone and opening it. There were more than 30 missed calls and more than 30 unread text messages.

"Yusa has called you a lot and sent you a lot of text messages!" Looking at the notifications on the phone, Kaya was also surprised.

"It seems I need to reply..."

"Jingle Bell!"

As he was speaking, a phone call came in, but the caller ID showed it was Kitagawa Umi.

"Hello, Haimeng." Luotian answered the phone and had a brief chat with Kitagawa Haimeng about the cosplay shooting in the afternoon.

"Okay, what are you going to do for lunch?" Luotian asked this after finishing the topic about COS.

"I bought a few boxes of instant fried rice yesterday, just eat whatever you want!" Hi-Star River Kaimeng is as casual as ever.

"Come over to my place for lunch." Luotian said.

"Huh?! Is it okay?" Kitagawa Umi asked with some surprise.

"Of course. Have you forgotten what I said before? You can come over anytime." Luotian replied.

"I understand! I'll go out now!" Kitagawa Umi's happy voice came from the phone.

"Okay, be safe on the road, and see you later."

"Yes, see you later!"

After giving some instructions, Luotian hung up the phone.

Chapter 257: Sanjiu in Action

"Xiaotian, is Haimeng coming over?" Gaya who was standing aside asked at the right time.

"She wants to eat those greasy quick-heated foods again. It's better to let her come over to eat. We have to meet up in the afternoon anyway." Luotian said.

"That's true. Although instant food is fast, it is not healthy for humans." Gaya knew more about food, just as much as the housewife, and then asked, "By the way, Xiaotian, are you going out this afternoon?"

"Well, take COS photos of Haimeng." Luotian said.

"Is that so? Are you COSting a new character?" Kaya asked expectantly.

"Yes, it's a succubus!" Luotian said with a smile.

"Succubus? Isn't that a demon...how can it be pretty?" Kaya was a little surprised, because in her memory, demons are all very ugly.

"This is different from the demon you know. The succubus COSed by Hai Meng is a product of human imagination, and it is a beautiful one." Luo Tian said with a smile.

"So that's how it is... I thought it was really those ugly things crawling out of the ground." Kaya breathed a sigh of relief, obviously having seen a demon.

"Of course not." Although Luo Tian didn't know what kind of demon Jiaye had seen, he didn't care much and said, "I have a comic book about Hai Meng's COS character in my room. Do you want to take a look?"

"Great, it's still early for noon." Gayedon was interested.

"Then Jiaye, wait a moment, I'll go upstairs to get it." As he said that, Luotian turned around and was about to go upstairs, but Jiaye grabbed the corner of his clothes.

"Xiaotian, let me go and clean up your room." Gaya said with a smile.

"Okay, then I'll have to work hard, Jiaye." Luotian leaned over and kissed Jiaye on the forehead.

"Um!" Kayaya's face flushed immediately, and he muttered nervously, "No...Nothing...I'm going up!"

Looking at the girl who seemed to be running away, Luotian couldn't help but laugh. Although she was more than four times older than Luotian, her style of doing things was actually very flexible and cute.

Looking at the figure disappearing on the stairs, Luo Tian couldn't help but whisper to himself: "It seems that the age of monsters is different from that of humans... Jiaye should be considered as not yet an adult..."

With such doubts, Luotian opened the door at the end of the aisle in front of him and came to the store at the front.

"Luotian, you're back..." Jingshuijiu was still the one looking after the store.

"Jingshuijiu, I'm sorry to ask you to watch the store again." Looking at the girl who was skillfully packing the dolls that the customers liked, Luotian quickly walked 760 steps forward to help.

Today's business is very good. There are five or six customers waiting to pay, which means that today's revenue is at least 3 million yen. After all, the price of each doll is different.

"I volunteered, and it's not a disgusting thing...Okay." As he spoke, Shizumi Hisahisa had already put the doll into a box, tied it with colorful satin, and handed it to the customer.

"Hahaha, that's good." While talking and laughing, Luotian quickly packed the doll and handed it to the waiting customer, "By the way, Jingshuijiu, Cangxingshi, where are they?"

"Tell them where Ichika and the others went."

"Is that so? Then let's invite them to come over for lunch."

"Also? Who else will come?"

"Haimeng will come too."

Just like that, the two chatted while packing, and soon it was done.

"Thank you for your hard work, Jingshui for a long time." Luotian asked as if to reward him, "Would you like some tea?"

"Yeah." Jing Shuijiu answered with his head held high.

"Wait a minute." Luotian turned around, pushed open the door and walked in.

Ten minutes later, Luotian came back with a tray in his hand, on which were two teacups, a pot of tea and a plate of white pastries with a floral scent.

"Sorry for keeping you waiting. Come and try it." Luotian poured out a cup of tea that was steamless but exuded a sweet floral scent.

"Luotian, the tea is cold." Since being with Luotian, Jingshuijiu has also learned to drink hot tea. He looked at the amber tea in the cup with some confusion.

"Yes, this is cold-brewed floral tea, which is most suitable for drinking in summer." Luo Tian said with a smile, then picked up the teacup and took a sip, with a look of savoury taste on his face.

"It's suitable for drinking in summer..." Jing Shuijiu picked up the teacup curiously and took a sip. The fragrant and slightly sweet taste remained unchanged.

"Try the osmanthus cake." Luo Tian pushed the small plate in front of Jing Shuijiu and said, "A sip of osmanthus and a sip of tea, the fragrance of the flowers is overflowing, sweet but not greasy."

Watching Luotian eating like a demonstrator, Jingshuijiu also became interested and followed suit.

When he sipped the soft and glutinous osmanthus cake on his tongue and took a sip of the sweet floral tea, the fragrance and sweetness seemed to be released, causing Jing Shuijiu's eyes to reveal a look of surprise.

"How is it? Is it okay?" Luo Tian asked with a smile.

"Well, it tastes better than last time." Jing Shuijiu honestly told the story of the last time he ate osmanthus cake in one bite. He still remembers the feeling of it being so soft and sticky that it was difficult to swallow.

"I see, that's because you didn't use the correct way to eat it." Luo Tian said, "High-end desserts like osmanthus cake need to be savored carefully. Eating it in one gulp is not suitable for it."

"I agree..." Jing Shuijiu nodded seriously, then took a bite of the osmanthus cake and sipped the scented tea.

Just like that, the two of them sat comfortably at the cashier counter, enjoying their cakes and chatting for half an hour.

"Dingling bell~"

The door of the shop was pushed open, and a lively and beautiful girl wearing a cool tank top and a short skirt walked in.

"Hello, Luotian, Jingshuijiu."

"Here he comes."

"Hello, Hai Meng."

The person who came was Kitagawa Umi. The hot and humid weather made her body circulation speed up and sweat soaked her heart.

"It's so hot. If I'm any slower, I might faint on the road." Kitagawa Umi waved her hands to fan herself, walked quickly under the air conditioner, and casually opened her collar to let the cool wind blow.

"Although the temperature is a bit high, don't exaggerate..." Luo Tian pulled Kitagawa Haimeng away from the air conditioner, "You will catch a cold if you blow like this. If it's too hot, go take a warm bath."

"Yes, yes, but I need some water first!" Kitagawa Kaimeng walked to the cashier counter without hesitation, picked up the teapot, picked up Luotian's teacup, poured a full cup of tea and put it into his mouth.

"Hmm~ha! This tea is so delicious!" Kitagawa Kaimeng praised while drinking it in big gulps. Her cheerful look stunned Luotian, as if he saw another Hiratsuka Shizuka.

"I feel much better." Kitagawa Haimeng wiped the tea from the corner of his mouth, then looked at the dazed boy beside him, "Luotian, lend me the bathroom to take a shower!"

"Uh...well, go ahead." Luo Tian came back to his senses and said, "I'll bring you some clean clothes later."

"Then I'll leave it to Luotian~!" After saying that, Kitagawa Umi opened the door and walked into the living room at the back. Her familiar look made people think that this was her own home.

"It feels like Hai Meng and you have a very good relationship..." Jing Shuijiu commented.
